A new to me survey company, SmartBeat, recently conducted a survey into smartphone app crashes in the first half of 2019.
I don’t have any regular crashes, and hardly even irregular crashes on my Android phone, so I find it very surprising that nearly half the sample reports weekly crashes, and on top of that certain genres of apps crash daily! Do any of my readers have such troubles?
Here’s an iPhone that has crashed into the pavement…
